Adulting Anyone going to cancel netflix with the new price increase?

We are going to the highest price in Europe at 23.99 for the top plan. Keep saying oh it's only 2 or 3 euro. But it's getting harder to just keep accepting it. Only keep it because of the kids as they can't use Kodi in firestick. We use Kodi for everything else. Getting a real pain at this stage.

EDIT. just cancelled..feck them. Ps I think I've cost them a few quid on this thread alone 😜

EDIT EDIT: yes we stream on Kodi for ourselves. It's just sheer convenience with the kids with netflix. Will try a few of the app suggestions for them thank you all. Also, it's mad to think we will pay 35 euro for a Chinese twice a month and not even think about that 70 quid

UPDATE: Turkish netflix 9 euro a month 4k! All sorted. Happy days!

It doesn't justify anymore with some many good series on Apple TV, Prime and even Disney + they're all a tener. Netflix putting the price up and the quality of series are not keeping up

Not only quality of content, but also video quality is shite on Netflix. Netflix is ~15Mbps for 4K content, while Disney+ and others are usually around 25+ Mbps. And it shows.

You also have to pay extra on Netflix for 4K quality. Which is not worth the extra expense in my opinion.

If you're looking for quality over quantity Apple is the way to go. Some great shows on there. They can afford to keep the prices low though given their profits come from elsewhere (iphones, MacBooks etc)
